TheI.m.p.r.o.v.Your Character workshop

The I is for InstinctHaving trouble with trust. Improv starts with trust. To get it, you have to give it, and you have to have it. The first step is to rely on your instinct, mentally and physically

The M is for MythologyAny character you play, whether in a thirty second scene or long form, has a journey to identify who they are and what they represent to an audience. Discovering what your journey is defines that first step in making that accessible to onstage characters.

The P is for PlayWere you an athlete? A problem solver? Did you make up games from scratch? Explore the core of your childhood play and apply it to you day to day.

The R is for RecallMemory & Recall are two huge components of Improvisation and Character that are often lost. Listening, Focusing, and Reincorporation all for under this umbrella.

The O is for ObjectiveThe AC-TING portion of the workshop. What do you want, not what do you need. What are you passionate about?

The V is for VariablesYou are your own physical constant surrounded by a plethora of variables: support, agreement, rhythm, expectations, vulnerability... How do you stay present to accept them all as they come into play?
